Man faces eight years prison after rape plea
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 27-year-old Redwood City man accused
of raping a 20-year-old woman in unincor-
porated Redwood City in 2017 is facing
eight years in state prison after he pleaded
no contest to forcible rape Wednesday,
according to the San Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office.
In custody on $400, 000 bail, Juan
Ramirez-Ruiz also admitted the offense is
serious and violent and will appear in court
July 2 for receipt of a restitution report and
sentencing, according to prosecutors.
Ramirez-Ruiz was arrested in early 2018,
more than six months after the victim
reported the attack to the San Mateo County
Sheriff’s Office. The two are said to have
been friends since 2010 when they were at
his house watching a movie April 3, 2017.
Ramirez-Ruiz is believed to have assaulted
Defense upholds Oakland warehouse operator as family man
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — A defense attorney told
jurors Wednesday that the man who was in
charge of an Oakland, California, warehouse
where three dozen people died in a fire is a
family man and artist who is wrongly
charged.
“My client is not some despot, cult leader,
manipulator of the truth,” defense lawyer
Tony Serra said of Derick Almena, who is
charged with 36 counts of involuntary
manslaughter in connection with a Dec. 2,

the woman, removed her clothing, raped her
and attempted to force her to perform oral
sex before walking her home, according to
prosecutors.
When she reported the incident to sher-
iff’s deputies about a month later, the
woman said Ramirez-Ruiz also sexually
assaulted her in October of 2016, according
to prosecutors.
Ramirez-Ruiz’s defense attorney Austin
Thompson said his client was brought in for
questioning under false pretenses and after a
long interrogation made some statements
that were later used against him.
He credited law enforcement’s posting of
his client’s mug shot in various locations
and to social media with inviting an ex-girl-
friend to come forward and make allegations
she had never made before, which he said
changed the landscape of the case dramati-
cally.
Thompson said his client faced a poten-

that occurred during an
unpermitted concert.
Serra blamed Oakland

cials for failing to

city law. He noted that
Derick Almena Oakland police officers,
health department
inspectors and Alameda County social wel-
fare workers visited the warehouse in the
tial life sentence if he had gone to trial with
multiple victims alleged in the case, and
noted Ramirez-Ruiz has always had the sup-
port of his family in court and has long been
a valuable member of his community as a
student and a worker.
“In my experience, there are occasions
where people that I believe to be innocent
take plea deals in order to avoid potentially
severe consequences,” he said. “In this case,
I think eight years is pretty severe for
someone who has no record.”
Though District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
acknowledged the number of forcible rape
cases in the county has dropped in recent
years, he noted Ramirez-Ruiz’s case indi-
cates women should continue to be wary of
these types of crimes.
“There are still predators out there like

does not honor a woman’s right to say no,

months before the fire, and none of them
raised concerns about the building being a
fire hazard.
Serra also said arson is to blame for the
fire, saying witnesses will testify to seeing
strangers with Molotov cocktails lurking
near the warehouse at the time of the fire.
U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives investigators could not
determine a cause for the fire.
“Arson was not foreseeable,” Serra said.
“My client did everything possible to make
the premises safe.”

High-speed rail plan estimates
Central Valley line at $18.3B
By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s
reworked plan for a high-speed train
estimates an $18.3 billion price tag to
complete 171 miles of track in the
Central Valley by 2028, nearly a decade
later than the initial estimate for a
much longer Los Angeles-to-San
Francisco line.
State rail officials issued an update to
the delay-plagued project Wednesday,
offering the first formal look at
changes suggested in February by
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Officials had been focused on building
a segment from the Central Valley to
San Francisco, but had not yet come up
with enough money to tunnel through a
mountain pass.
Now the focus is shifting to first
building a line from Bakersfield to
Merced. The update stresses complet-
ing the full line is still the ultimate
goal, something Newsom wants.
“This policy recommendation is not
a Central Valley line instead of Silicon
Valley to Central Valley line,” it reads.
“It is a Central Valley line first.”
The report does not offer a revised
analysis of the timeline and cost for
the entire project, slated last year to
cost $77 billion and be completed by
2033. However, it does show a cost
increase of $1.8 billion to construc-
tion that’s already underway to a total
of $12.4 billion, roughly double ini-
tial projections.
It’s been more than a decade since
California voters approved nearly $10
billion in bond funding for the project.
Its cost has steadily climbed since.
The update also reveals a train

through the Central Valley won’t gen-
erate enough money to cover the oper-
ations and maintenance costs. That’s a
problem for the state, which is bound
by the ballot measure to operate a rail
line without a subsidy.
Russ Fong, the project’s outgoing
chief financial officer, said the state
will hire an outside train operator to
avoid running afoul of the bond meas-
ure. Such a move is likely to prompt
lawsuits.
Republican Assemblyman Jim
Patterson of Fresno, a critic of the
project, said he has lost trust in com-
mitments by rail officials.
“They’re making it up as they go
along. That’s what I’ve concluded,” he
said. “How can we have confidence in

every single benchmark over the last

Newsom addressed the project’s
longstanding problems earlier this
year.
“Right now, there simply isn’t a path
to get from Sacramento to San Diego,
let alone from San Francisco to L.A. I
wish there were,” he said. “However,
we do have the capacity to complete a
high-speed rail link between Merced
and Bakersfield.”
Money for the project comes from
the bond, the federal government and
revenue from a state program that
charges polluters to emit greenhouse
gases. The Trump administration has
threatened to revoke the $3.5 billion
in federal money because of the pro-
ject’s delays, but a final decision has
not been made.

The Democrat says California must pri-

He’s also signed an executive order cre-
ating a new commission to study “the
Gavin Newsom future of work.” The commission will
explore how technology and economic
advances will impact California’s workforce. It will develop a
strategy to teach workers new skills and improve job quality.
The commission will have between 14 and 18 members
and will be expected to complete its work by next February.
PG&E offers $105M ‘wildfire assistance’ plan
SAN FRANCISCO — Pacific Gas & Electric says it will
set up a $105 million fund to help survivors of recent
California wildfires started by the utility’s equipment.
In a court filing Wednesday, PG&E says the wildfire assis-
tance program will provide relief for people who lost prop-
erty during huge blazes in 2017 and 2018.
The plan requires approval in federal bankruptcy court.
PG&E filed for bankruptcy protection in January, saying it
faced at least $13 billion in legal claims from wildfire vic-
tims. The filing says the program would be administered by
an independent third party chosen in consultation with
lawyers for PG&E’s creditors.
PG&E’s equipment is the prime suspect in the cause of
October 2017 fires in Napa and Sonoma counties and last
November’s fire that wiped out the town of Paradise.

US to give DNA tests at

border to check for fraud
By Colleen Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U. S. Immigration and Customs

Enforcement will begin voluntary DNA testing in cases
where officials suspect that adults are fraudulently claiming
to be parents of children as they cross the U.S.-Mexico bor-
der.
The decision comes as Homeland Security officials are
increasingly concerned about instances of child trafficking
as a growing number of Central American families cross the
border, straining resources to the breaking point. Border
authorities also recently started to increase the biometric
data they take from children 13 and younger, including fin-
gerprints, despite privacy concerns and government policy
that restricts what can be collected.
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security
wouldn’t say where the DNA pilot program would begin, but
they did say it would start as early as next week and would be
very limited.
The DNA testing will happen once officials with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, which manages border
enforcement, refer possible instances of fraud to ICE, which
usually manages interior enforcement. But teams from
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations were recently
deployed to the southern border to help investigate human REUTERS FILE PHOTO
smuggling efforts. A man tries to rebuild his house after the area was hit by Hurricane Maria in Canovanas, Puerto Rico.
The rapid DNA test will take about two hours and will be
obtained using a cheek swab from both the adult and child.
The parent is to swab the child, officials said.
The testing will be destroyed and won’t be used as evi-

Biden’s rise tests Trump plan of casting foes as socialists
By Zeke Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
may want to cast his potential Democratic
rivals as a band of angry socialists, but Joe
Biden is not cooperating with Trump’s
reelection strategy, and that’s giving the
president growing unease.
As the Democratic field expands to more
than 20 contenders, Trump and his cam-
paign team have been trying to lump them
all together as left-wing radicals. Campaign
officials believe it’s the best way for Trump
to overcome his challenges with moderate
voters, particularly in the upper Midwestern
states critical to his reelection.
But Biden’s working-class appeal and
more pragmatic policy approach are putting
the GOP framing of the 2020 race to the
test. As he campaigned in Iowa this week,
Biden showcased his union support and
steered clear of the liberal policy debates
firing up the Democratic base.
From the White House, Trump watched —
and tweeted — with some concern, accord-
ing to two people familiar with the presi-
dent’s thinking, as Biden earned the
endorsement of a prominent International
Association of Fire Fighters and secured a
spot at the top of Democratic polls. The
firefighters’ backing, in particular,
appeared to irk the president, who relishes
Budget office: Caveats to government-run health system
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
and Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Congressional budget
experts said Wednesday that moving to a
government-run health care system like
“Medicare for All” could be complicated and
potentially disruptive for Americans.
The report from the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office was a high-
level look at the pros and cons of changing
the current mix of public and private health
care financing to a system paid for entirely
by the government. It did not include cost
estimates of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Medicare
for All legislation or its House counterpart,
but raised dozens of issues lawmakers would
confront.

“The transition toward a single-payer
system could be complicated, challenging
and potentially disruptive,” the report said.
“Policymakers would need to consider how
quickly people with private insurance
would switch their coverage to a new public
plan, what would happen to workers in the
health insurance industry if private insur-
ance was banned or its role was limited, and
how quickly provider payment rates under
the single-payer system would be phased in
from current levels.”
One unintended consequence could be
increased wait times and reduced access to
care if there are not enough medical
providers to meet an expected increased

“An expansion of insurance coverage
under a single-payer system would increase
the demand for care and put pressure on the

view with Boston Herald Radio on
Wednesday, adding of Democrats, “They’re
all pretty heavy leaning left, including
him.”
Biden had said earlier Wednesday of
Trump: “I’ve had his attention for a while.”
Biden’s swift rise tests the Trump cam-
paign’s theory that no candidate can win the
Democratic nomination without first
embracing a slew of progressive policies
that would appeal to the party’s base in the
primaries but put Trump in a stronger posi-
tion once he has a general-election oppo-
nent he can pillory as outside the American
mainstream.
“The great challenge for every campaign
is to define your opponent,” but Democrats
are doing that work for Trump, said
Republican strategist Josh Holmes. “The
things that Bernie Sanders talked about in
2016 have been adopted by virtually every
Democratic candidate for president. They’re
the admission for entry to being competi-
tive in this race.”
While Biden has begun laying out posi-
tions that tack with the direction of his
party on health care, education and taxes,
for example, he has taken care to avoid
embracing the more drastic proposals
backed by the Vermont senator and others
on issues including “Medicare for All” and
the Green New Deal.
said Sanders. “What is not disruptive is
expanding Medicare, which is a very popu-
lar and cost-effective program to guarantee
health care for every man, woman and
child.”
The Democratic presidential candidate’s
single-payer proposal is coloring the nom-
ination fight and is likely to be a signifi-
cant theme in the 2020 elections. President
Donald Trump derides it as “socialism.”

Venezuelans take to streets
as uprising attempt sputters
By Scott Smith
and Christopher Torchia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela —
Venezuelans heeded opposition leader
Juan Guaido’s call to fill streets around
the nation Wednesday but security
forces showed no sign of answering
his cry for a widespread military upris-
ing, instead dispersing crowds with
tear gas as the political crisis threat-
ened to deepen.
Thousands cheered Guaido in Caracas
as he rolled up his sleeves and called
on Venezuelans to remain out in force
and prepare for a general strike, a day
after his bold attempt to spark a mass
military defection against President
Nicolas Maduro failed to tilt the bal-
ance of power.
“It’s totally clear now the usurper
has lost,” Guaido proclaimed, a decla-
ration belied by events on the ground.
Across town at the Carlota air base
near where Guaido made his plea a day
earlier for a revolt, intense clashes
raged against between protesters and
troops loyal to Maduro, making clear
the standoff would drag on.
There and elsewhere, state security
forces launched tear gas and fired rub-
ber bullets while bands of mostly
young men armed with makeshift
shields threw rocks and set a motorcy-
cle ablaze.

Opposition leaders hoped Guaido’s
risky move would stir a string of high-
ranking defections and shake Maduro’s
grip on power. But only the chief of
Venezuela’s feared intelligence agency

steadfast. Some analysts predicted that
would make Maduro more emboldened.
The dramatic events could spell even
more uncertainty for Venezuela, which

The new discovery was made roughly
1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers) to the

The right half of a jawbone with teeth
is at least 160,000 years old, scien-
tists reported Wednesday in the journal
Nature. No DNA could be found, but
scientists recovered protein fragments

Assange gets 50
weeks in prison
for jumping bail
By Gregory Katz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A British judge sentenced WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange on Wednesday to 50 weeks in prison for
skipping bail seven years ago and holing
up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
Judge Deborah Taylor appeared unim-
pressed by Assange’s written apology
and his lawyer’s argument that he sought
refuge in the embassy because of over-
whelming fear of being taken from
Sweden, where he faced sexual miscon-
duct allegations, to the U.S. to face sepa-
Julian Assange rate charges related to his WikiLeaks
activity.
“It is essential to the rule of law that nobody is above or
beyond the reach of the law,” Taylor said. “Orders of the
court are to be obeyed.”
The judge said it was hard to imagine a more serious ver-
sion of the offense as she gave the 47-year-old hacker a sen-
tence close to the maximum of a year in custody. She point-
ed out that he had not surrendered “willingly” and was only
facing the court because the government of Ecuador withdrew
its protection last month.
The Australian secret-spiller had lived in the South
American country’s London embassy since June 2012 to
avoid extradition to Sweden, where he was wanted for ques-
tioning over rape and sexual assault allegations made by two
women.
He was arrested by British police April 11 after Ecuador
revoked his political asylum, accusing him of everything
from meddling in the nation’s foreign affairs to poor
hygiene.

Mueller report: Donald Trump
feared being seen as a fraud
By Michael Balsamo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The fear was
persistent.
As the Russia investigation
heated up and threatened to shadow
Donald Trump’s presidency, he
became increasingly concerned.
But the portrait painted by special
counsel Robert Mueller is not of a
president who believed he or any-
one on his campaign colluded with
Russians to interfere in the 2016
election.
Instead, the Trump of the
Mueller report is gripped by fear
that Americans would question the
very legitimacy of his presidency.
Would Trump, the man who put his
name on skyscrapers and his
imprint on television, be per-
ceived as a cheater and a fraud?
To Trump, his victory over
Hillary Clinton was both historic
and overwhelming, though he
won millions of votes less than
did the Democratic candidate.
If people thought he’d won with
the help of Russia, that glorious
victory might be tainted.
Just a month after Election Day,
on Dec. 10, 2016, reports surfaced
that U. S. intelligence officials
had concluded Russia interfered in
the election and tried to boost

refusal sets the stage for Barr to
possibly be held in contempt of
Congress.
At Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary
Committee session, Barr said he
had been surprised Mueller did not
reach a conclusion on whether
Trump had tried to obstruct justice,
and that he had felt compelled to
step in with his own judgment that
the president had committed no
crime.
“I’m not really sure of his rea-
soning,” Barr said of Mueller’s
obstruction analysis, which nei-
ther accused the president of a
crime nor exonerated him. If

The next day, Trump went on
Fox News and called the assess-
ment “ridiculous” and “just anoth-
er excuse.” The intelligence com-
munity actually had “no idea if it’s
Russia or China or somebody,” he
argued.
“It could be somebody sitting in
a bed some place,” the Republican
president-elect added.
The president’s public narrative
quickly shifted. He blamed
Democrats and accused his politi-

was the time to pull up.”
Barr was also perturbed by a pri-
vate letter Mueller, a longtime
friend, sent him last month com-
plaining that the attorney general
had not properly portrayed the
special counsel’s findings in a
four-page letter summarizing the
report’s main conclusions. The
attorney general called the note “a
bit snitty.”
“I said ‘Bob, what’s with the let-
ter? Just pick up the phone and
call me if there is an issue,”’ Barr
said.

the transition team and would go

Flynn asked that Russia not retali-
ate against the United States
because of sanctions announced
by the Obama administration; the
ambassador later told Flynn that
Russia would hold back.
In the weeks that followed,
Trump paid careful attention to
what he saw as negative stories
about Flynn. He grew increasing-
ly angry when a story broke
pointing out that Flynn had dis-
cussed sanctions with Kislyak.
By mid-February, Flynn was
forced to resign.
A day later, as Trump was set to
meet with FBI Director James
Comey, the president had lunch
with his confidant and former New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. He
told Christie he believed the
Russia investigation would end

Key takeaways
from testimony,
Mueller’s letter
MUELLER WANTED MORE
INFO RELEASED AT FIRST
Mueller wanted the executive summaries from
his report publicly released immediately after
he submitted his report in March. But Barr went
his own way.
Days after receiving the 448-page report, Barr
released his own four-page letter laying out the
report’s principal conclusions.The letter said that
Mueller didn’t establish a criminal conspiracy
between the Trump campaign and Russia and
that the special counsel didn’t make a formal
decision on whether Trump obstructed justice.
Mueller said Barr did more harm than good by
not releasing more information.
In his March 27 letter to Barr, Mueller wrote,“The
summary letter the Department sent to
Congress and released to the public late in the
afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the
context, nature and substance of this Office’s
work and conclusions.”
“There is now public confusion about critical
aspects of the results of our investigation,”
Mueller added. In the letter, first reported by The
Washington Post, Mueller urged Barr to release
redacted versions of the summaries at that time,
which Barr did not do.
They ultimately became public with the release
of the redacted report last month. Republicans
cited that fact in dismissing the matter as now
moot. But Democrats said the delay allowed
Trump to use Barr’s letter to bake in a public
narrative about the report’s findings before it
was released.
FOLLOWING UP ON
THE ‘SNITTY’ LETTER
Barr testified that he called Mueller after
receiving his complaints and Mueller told him he
hadn’t“misrepresented”the report. Instead, Barr
said Mueller told him he was upset that the press
coverage was reading too much into the letter.
Barr said Mueller pressed him to release the
summaries, but he rejected that advice because
he didn’t want to release the report“piecemeal.”
Bristling under questioning from Senate
Democrats, Barr said: “It was my decision how
and when to make it public. Not Bob Mueller’s.”
Barr described Mueller’s letter as a “bit snitty,”
and also took a subtle shot at the special
counsel, saying he slowed down its public
release.
He said he had asked Mueller’s team to identify
grand jury information that would need to be
redacted, but when he received the report, they
hadn’t done it. He said it then took weeks to
comb through the report to black out protected
information.
PAST COMMENTS TO
CONGRESS DRAW SCRUTINY
A couple weeks after receiving Mueller’s
complaints, Barr was asked at a House hearing
about reports that members of the special
counsel’s team were “frustrated at some level
with the limited information included” in the
letter Barr sent to Congress detailing Mueller’s
principal conclusions. Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla.,
asked Barr, “Do you know what they are
referencing with that?”
Barr responded,“No, I don’t.”
On Wednesday, Democrats on the Senate
Judiciary Committee challenged Barr to explain
how he could say that after receiving Mueller’s
letter. Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii went further,
saying Barr had lied.
But Barr defended himself by saying the
question was imprecise. Crist’s question asked
him about unidentified members of Mueller’s
team, while he spoke with Mueller directly, he
said.
“I don’t know what that refers to at all,”Barr said
of the question.
BARR SAYS HE DIDN’T
EXONERATE TRUMP
That’s not what the Justice Department does,
Barr said.
“I didn’t exonerate. I said that we didn’t believe
that there was sufficient evidence to establish an
obstruction offense,” Barr said.
Under questioning, Barr said he didn’t believe
that Trump’s actions related to the Russia probe
broke the law. He said Trump was well within
his authority to fire FBI Director James Comey or
to direct his White House counsel to have
Mueller removed as special counsel.
But he declined to say whether he thought it
was OK for a president to direct people around
him to lie.
“I’m not in the business of determining when
lies are told to the American people. I’m in the
business of determining whether a crime has
been committed,” Barr said.
BARR DEFENDS
TRUMP WITH HIS
VIEW OF THE PRESIDENCY
The powers of the presidency are so vast that
Trump could shut down any investigation into
him if he believed he was falsely accused.
That’s what Barr told the committee.
In making his decision that Trump didn’t
obstruct justice by trying to curtail the Russia
probe, Barr said he focused on how the
president didn’t commit an underlying crime
with Russia and how“we now know that he was
being falsely accused.”
“The president doesn’t have to sit there
constitutionally and allow it to run its course,”
Barr said.
He also expressed sympathy for Trump.
“Two years of his administration have now been
dominated by allegations that have proven false.
To listen to some of the rhetoric you would think
the Mueller report had found the opposite,”Barr
said.

Stocks sink after Fed appears to
dash hopes of an interest rate cut
By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. stocks sold off late in the day and
ended broadly lower Wednesday after the head
of the Federal Reserve appeared to play down
the possibility of an interest rate cut this
year, something some investors had been
hoping for.
The Fed’s decision to leave its benchmark
interest rate alone was widely expected and
came amid signs of renewed economic
health, but unusually low inflation. The
announcement reaffirmed a message that has
reassured investors since the start of the
year: No rate hikes are likely anytime soon.
The low-rate policy is helping to keep bor-
rowing costs down and supporting an econo-
my that’s been growing steadily since late
last year.
Still, some investors who saw inflation
trending below the Fed’s preferred target of
2% thought Chairman Jay Powell might sig-
nal a rate cut to spur economic growth, a
notion that Powell dashed during a press con-
ference and that some market watchers dis-
missed as wishful thinking.
“I don’t think investors who were antici-
pating a rate cut were being very realistic,”
said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior markets
strategist at Voya Investment Management.
Cavanaugh said that a rate cut wouldn’t be
an appropriate move against the backdrop of
the U.S. economy that grew 3.2% in the first
three months of this year and a national
unemployment rate below 4%.
The S&P 500 index fell 22.10 points, or
0.8%, to 2,923.73.
Equinix reported a key
measure of profitability in 1Q
REDWOOD CITY — Equinix Inc. on
Wednesday reported a key measure of prof-
itability in its first quarter. The results
exceeded Wall Street expectations.
The Redwood City-based real estate
investment trust said it had funds from
operations of $488.1 million, or $5.95 per
share, in the period.
The average estimate of seven analysts
surveyed by Zacks Investment Research
was for funds from operations of $5.60 per
share.
Funds from operations is a closely
watched measure in the REIT industry. It
takes net income and adds back items such
as depreciation and amortization.
The company said it had net income of
$118.1 million, or $1.44 per share.
The data center operator, based in
Redwood City, California, posted revenue
of $1.36 billion in the period, also exceed-
ing Street forecasts. Ten analysts surveyed
by Zacks expected $1.35 billion.
Equinix expects full-year funds from
operations in the range of $22. 37 to
$22.73 per share, with revenue in the range
of $5.55 billion to $5.6 billion.
The company’s shares have climbed 28%
since the beginning of the year. In the
final minutes of trading on Wednesday,
shares hit $450.01, an increase of slightly
more than 6% in the last 12 months.
BUSINESS
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost
162.77 points, or 0.6%, to 26,430.14. The
Nasdaq composite dropped 45.75 points, or
0.6%, to 8,049.64. The Russell 2000 index
of smaller company stocks gave up 14.83

The U.S. stock market has been riding

Aragon, Carlmont move to second round; San Mateo ousted
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was feast or famine for the Peninsula
Athletic League in the first round of the
Central Coast Section team tournament.
Aragon, the PAL team tournament winner,
cruised past Westmont without dropping a set.
Carlmont also dominated with a 7-0 win over
Alvarez. San Mateo, meanwhile, despite a
strong effort, was downed by Palo Alto 6-1.
“The matches were even,” said San Mateo
head coach John Daquioag. “Palo Alto was the
better team.”
At first glance, a 6-1 loss looks like a rout,
but San Mateo (11-6 overall) certainly made
Palo Alto (14-6) work for the win. And if a few
points went the other way, it may have been
the Bearcats moving on to the second round.
Take the No. 1 singles match, for example.
San Mateo’s Nick Chu was up 5-2 in the first
set, but Palo Alto’s Tony Georgianis won four
games in a row to take a 6-5 lead. Chu tied the
set at 6-all to force a tiebreak, but it was
Georgianis who came out on top. He then
rolled past Chu in the second set, 6-2.
It was a similar story at the other spots. The
Bearcats had set leads, but just could not close
out the Vikings. Both of San Mateo’s top two
doubles teams, Prashanth Rajan and Dylan
Higashona at No. 1 and the No. 2 team of
Kevin Zhang and Andre Khmelnitsky, after
dropping their first sets, had leads in the sec-
ond sets, but could not force the matches to a
third.
“Our mental toughness wasn’t there today,”
Daquioag said. “We just couldn’t close out
sets.”
The Bearcats’ lone win came at No. 3 dou-
bles, where Coy Chilton and Ilan
Tennenhouse rallied from a set down to win
the match in a third-set, super tiebreaker.
Considering the pair didn’t enter the start-
ing lineup until the end of the season,
Daquioag was proud to see the senior pair earn
the win for San Mateo.
Chilton and Tennenhouse quickly fell
behind 4-1 in the first set, but eventually tied
it at 6-all before falling in the tiebreaker. They

sixth straight defeat walk-off, series win
By Jimmy Golen

BOSTON — Michael Chavis has only
played one homestand in Fenway Park and
he’s already seen enough crazy bounces for
an entire career.
The rookie second baseman earned a sin-
gle that led to the tying run when his
grounder up the middle, a potential double
play ball, kicked off of second base and
safely into center field. Mitch Moreland fol-
lowed with a sacrifice fly, then added a solo
homer to help Boston beat Oakland 7-3 on
Wednesday.
Chavis was thrown out at home later in
the inning when he attempted to score from
third on a wild pitch that caromed off the
backstop right to the catcher, but the Red
Sox completed the three-game sweep and
revived their hopes of defending their 2018
World Series championship.
“It’s a good start,” Moreland said. “We’ve
got three under our belt, so that was a good
series, good momentum for us to go back on
the road.”
San Mateo’s Nick Chu hits a return during a 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 loss at No. 1 singles against
Palo Alto’s Tony Georgianis in the first round of the CCS team tournament.

SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey hit a
game-ending single with two outs in the
ninth inning to send the San Francisco
Giants to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles
Dodgers on Wednesday night.
Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu and Giants
counterpart Madison Bumgarner were on
their games, leading to a tight game that
wasn’t decided until the bullpens took over
late.
Steven Duggar and Gerardo Parra started
the winning rally with back-to-back, one-
out singles against Julio Urias (2-2). Pedro
Baez then came in with two outs and runners
on first and second and Posey hit a line drive
to left field. Chris Taylor fielded the ball on
one hop and threw on the fly to home, but
Duggar slid in safely before Russell Martin
could get the tag down on a high throw to
give the Giants the series win.

t’s fitting that the San Francisco
Giants changed the title sponsor of
their ballpark from AT&T to Oracle,
because this team — and fans’ interest —
has nothing to do with the old name and the
old aura.
Simply put, the Giants are just another
team now.
That much was on display Tuesday night
as San Francisco hosted the rival Dodgers in
the middle of a three-game set this week.
What was once one of the toughest tickets
in town, was sim-
ply another Tuesday
night game during a
non-descript sea-
son.
Huge swathes of
empty green seats
littered the ballpark
in every section of
the park, belying
the reported atten-
dance of 32,000 and
change. Actual
attendance, howev-
er, was maybe high-
20s and a report Wednesday on KTVU news
verified my assumption: March and April
attendance at Oracle Park was down 17%,
which given Tuesday’s attendance, means
roughly 27,000 made it out.
Of those 27,000 (for sake of argument), I
would guess at least half were decked out in
Dodgers blue. Our seats, which my wife got
comped from work, were lower box seats
down the first-base line, right at the end of
the Dodgers’ dugout. I thought I was in
Dodger Stadium. As the team would run off
the field following another 1-2-3 inning
from the Giants, dozens of Dodgers fans
would stand, holding up hands and mitts,
looking for a souvenir ball, which the play-
ers unfailingly obliged after every inning.
When David Freese hit a three-run homer
to give Los Angeles the lead for good in the
top of the fourth, the place exploded with
Dodgers’ cheer.
Chants of “Let’s go Dodgers!” were peri-
odically started throughout the game and

Belt made a diving stop but Bellinger beat
Bumgarner to the bag for an infield hit,
while Hernandez raced around third to score
the tying run.
The Giants had taken the lead with a rare
first-inning run when Duggar singled, went
to third on a double by Tyler Austin and
scored on Belt’s sacrifice fly. It was just the
second first-inning run in 31 games this
season for San Francisco.

The Vikings nearly saw their bid for an

fall by the wayside, but they did just enough
to hold off the Colts.
Mills (11-0 PAL Ocean, 15-3 overall)
scored an unearned run in the first inning
and Vikings’ pitcher Sofia Mosqueda made it
stand up as she threw a complete game, scat-
tering seven hits.
The Vikings scored the game’s only run in
the bottom of the first. With one out, Olivia
Williams and Sammi Yeung had back-to-
back singles to bring up Cassandra Stanley.
She hit a sharp grounder to third that the
third baseman back handed and stepped on
the third-base bag for the second out. Her
throw to first to try and complete the double
play sailed up the line, however, allowing
Yeung to score.
El Camino (5-4, 7-6) had its shot to tie
the game in the top of the sixth when
Divina Moreno doubled, but was cut down at
the plate on a Ruby Nagaya single, as Mills
rightfielder Nicole Boie threw a strike to get
Moreno at the plate.

Bettman: Banning hits to the
head would mean end of all hits
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OTTAWA, Ontario — NHL Commissioner
Gary Bettman hit back Wednesday at the
notion of banning any kind of head contact,
telling a Canadian parliamentary panel that
such a rule would be impossible to enforce
and lead to the end of hitting.
The league has faced calls to penalize any
head contact in the hope of eliminating
potentially debilitating concussions. Those
calling for a strict rule include Ken Dryden,
the former Montreal Canadiens goalie and
cabinet minister in Paul Martin’s Liberal
government.
In sometimes combative testimony,
Bettman said such a rule at the NHL level
would mean larger players would inevitably
land blows on smaller players’ heads in the
normal course of play, leading to penalties.
Ultimately “there would be no more body
checking” — something that players and
fans feel is an “exciting, appealing, enter-
taining” and important part of the game.
Bettman decried what he called “blanket
statements about changing a rule” on head
Derby favorite scratched

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Suddenly, the Kentucky
Derby is wide open.
Favorite Omaha Beach was scratched because
of a breathing problem Wednesday night, leav-

trainer Richard Mandella and jockey Mike
Smith.
Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia
revised the morning line to make Game Winner
the 9-2 favorite for the 1 1/4-mile race Saturday.
Improbable and Roadster were installed as the
co-second choices at 5-1, giving five-time
Derby-winning trainer Bob Baffert the top three
choices in the 20-horse field.
Mandella told the Associated Press that
Omaha Beach developed a cough and a subse-
quent veterinary exam showed the colt has an
entrapped epiglottis. It’s generally not life- or
career-threatening and is typically corrected
with minor surgery.

and he questioned any
direct link between multiple hockey concus-
sions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy
(CTE), which is a brain condition associated
with repeated blows to the head. CTE can be
profoundly debilitating, with symptoms
that include memory problems, personality
changes, aggression and depression.
“I don’t believe there has been, based on
everything I’ve been told — and if anybody
has information to the contrary, we’d be
happy to hear it — other than some anecdot-
al evidence, there has not been that conclu-
sive link,” Bettman said.
When asked if there were any rules or
changes he would make to the game to reduce
“It’s been a devastating thing, but we have to
do what’s right for the horse,” said Mandella,
who has never won the Derby with six previous
starters.
The trainer said Omaha Beach will have sur-
gery in Kentucky in the next few days and will
be sidelined for two to three weeks. The ordeal
will knock him off the Triple Crown trail.
“It’s such a disappointment, but we’ll fight
again,” Mandella told the AP. “We won’t be out
a long time.”
The scratch was another blow to cancer sur-
vivor Rick Porter, the colt’s 78-year-old owner.
He has twice finished second in the Derby, in
2007 with Hard Spun and the following year
with filly Eight Belles, who broke her ankles
past the finish line and had to be euthanized.

very good support.”

Smith has three mounts on Friday’s card at

Gold medalist loses fight TENNIS
over testosterone rules
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — The sports world’s highest
court ruled Wednesday that Olympic gold
medalist Caster Semenya and other female
runners like her with unusually high testos-
terone must take medication to reduce their
levels of the male sex hormone if they want
to compete in certain events — a landmark
decision with far-reaching ramifications for
other women’s sports.
In a 2-1 ruling, the Court of Arbitration for
Sport upheld proposed rules issued by track’s
governing body, the IAAF, saying that they
are discriminatory but that “such discrimina-
tion is a necessary, reasonable and propor-
tionate means” of “preserving the integrity
of female athletics.”
The IAAF argued that high, naturally occur-
ring levels of testosterone in athletes like
Semenya with “intersex” characteristics that
don’t conform to standard definitions of male
and female give them an unfair competitive
advantage, and it decreed a maximum level
for females.
The court decision could open the way for
similar rules in other women’s sports where
size, speed and power make a difference, such
as weightlifting, boxing, swimming, rugby,
field hockey and soccer.
Semenya — a 28-year-old South African
whose sculpted biceps and super-fast, blow-
away-the-competition times have led others
to question her accomplishments — declared
she will not be deterred.
“I know that the IAAF’s regulations have
always targeted me specifically,” Semenya
said in a statement. “For a decade the IAAF
has tried to slow me down, but this has actu-
ally made me stronger. The decision of the
CAS will not hold me back. I will once again
rise above and continue to inspire young
women and athletes in South Africa and
around the world.”
The two-time Olympic champion in the
800 meters will have to lower her testos-
terone levels by such means as birth control
pills or prostate cancer drugs if she wants to
defend her world title in September in Doha,
Qatar. Semenya is expected to race in the 800

on Friday at a track meet in Doha in what will
be the last world-class event before the new
rules apply.
Testosterone strengthens muscle tone and
bone mass. Because of that, it is against the
rules for athletes to use testosterone supple-
ments. Some women have what is known as
hyperandrogenism, meaning they have natu-
ral levels that are unusually high.
The IAAF rules require women to reduce
their levels below 5 nanomoles per liter of
blood. According to the IAAF, most females,
including elite athletes, have levels of
testosterone circulating naturally in their
bodies of 0.12 to 1.79 nanomoles per liter,
while men have levels that can be dozens or
even hundreds of times higher — typically
7.7 to 29.4.
Semenya’s level is considered private med-
ical information and has not been disclosed.

recovered, however, and went on to record the
win.
“I’m proud of the team,” Daquioag said.
“They wanted to make CCS. This was just
icing on the cake.”
While San Mateo’s season came to an end,
Aragon (16-3) extended its season by at least
one more match as the Dons dominated
Westmont (11-7) out of Campbell. The Dons
did not drop a set as all seven matches were fin-
ished in less than 90 minutes.
Aragon’s No. 2 and No. 3 singles players,
Daniel Duan and Ilan Leventhal, along with
the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams — Rithik
Booreddy and Richard Tang, and Sean Hsu and
Ryan Firestone — were especially strong as
they all lost only one game each.
“It’s nice to get the win,” said Tang, a senior
captain and a four-year varsity player for the
Dons. “I always have confidence in my team.
We have good players up and down the line-
up.”
Randy Liu, playing at No. 4 singles, had the
toughest match of the day, needing to win a
first-set tiebreaker 7-5 to win the opening set
before finishing off the straight-set win with a
6-3 decision in the second set.
LOUNGE
Continued from page 11
half-hearted “Let’s go Giants!” chants were
quickly drowned out. This was a Dodgers’
game and the team and their fans proved it.
After Giants’ reliever Ty Blach was lit up for
six runs in the sixth and gave up one more in
the seventh, and then came to bat with two
outs in the bottom of the inning, I told my
wife, “We’re out of here.”
I figured if the Giants had given up by let-
ting a relief pitcher bat down 10-3, then I was
giving up on that game as well.
***
How depressing was the Giants’ perform-
ance? When they scored their first run on a
Brandon Belt single in the bottom of the sec-
ond, I turned to my wife and said, “You’re here
on a special night. The Giants don’t usually
start scoring until the sixth inning.”
The problem? The Giants entire batting
order is barely above the Mendoza Line —
that .200 batting average that is the line
between simply bad and god-awful.
And yet it was a conga line of pathetic aver-
ages: .238, .230, .222, .202. The Giants lead-
ing, everyday hitter? Buster Posey, with a
whopping .250 average.
Pitching and defense will only get a team so
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Up next for the Dons is a meeting with
fourth-seeded St. Ignatius (15-5) at 3 p.m.
Friday at San Francisco State. It was the
Wildcats who knocked Aragon out in the sec-
ond round three years ago on their way to the
first of their back-to-back CCS titles.
St. Ignatius finished in a second-place tie
with St. Francis in the West Catholic Athletic
League standings and remain one of the top
teams in the section.
“S.I. —  they’re a tough team,” Tang said.
“But I believe in our guys.”
Carlmont (9-5) also won their match over
the Eagles without dropping a set. The Scots’
top two singles players, junior Milad Shafaie
and freshman Daniel Arakaki, both won their
matches at love. Chris Cho, at No. 3 singles,
lost only one game, while Siddharth
Srinivasan lost only one game in each set.
Ryan Franaszek battled through illness and
teamed with Derek Tao to win their No. 3 dou-
bles match in straight sets.
Up next for the Scots is a match with a
familiar opponent — No. 6 seed Menlo-
Atherton (15-2), at 3 p.m. Friday in Atherton.
The Bears capture their 11th straight PAL Bay
Division title this past season, and swept
both matches from Carlmont this season.
The other second-round match featuring a
county team has top-seeded Menlo School
(19-2) hosting either Aptos (14-1) or WBAL
rival Harker (10-2) at 3 p.m. Friday.
far. At some point, you have to score runs to
win and a team batting average of .214 is not
going to score a lot of runs.
***
While the game on the field was boring as
the Dodgers went on to bash the Giants 10-3,
the fan experience was wonderful. Usually, the
Giants’ ballpark is an absolute madhouse —
inside and out. But once we got through securi-
ty and up the escalator, the concourse opened
up appreciably. You could, literally, stroll the
concourse without a care in the world there was
so little traffic.
Lines at the concession stands were nearly
non-existent. And it didn’t matter at what
point of the game you went to get food and
beverages. The lines were short. I think I wait-
ed five minutes.
While we did sit in our assigned aisle, we
didn’t sit in our assigned seats. Not once were
we asked to move for the seat’s original own-
ers. So that meant there was plenty of space to
spread out and have some elbow room.
And then when it was time to leave, it was
down the back stairs near McCovey Cove and
up Fourth Street to BART.
Easy peasy. My easiest trip to the park in a
long time.

BLUFFTON, S.C. — Alex Beach seized control with
three straight birdies on the front nine and closed
with a 3-under 69 to hold off Danny Balin and win the
PGA Professional Championship on Wednesday.
They were among 20 club pros who earned spots in
the PGA Championship in two weeks at Bethpage

Messi magical again

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARCELONA, Spain — Lionel
Messi hit the 600-goal mark for
Barcelona after scoring twice to
lead the Spanish club to a 3-0 vic-
tory over Liverpool in the first leg
of their Champions League semifi-
nal on Wednesday.
Luis Suarez opened the scoring
against his former club in the 26th
minute against a Liverpool side
that spurned a couple of good
chances to equalize during a strong
spell after the halftime break.
Messi then quashed the comeback
effort when he doubled the lead
from a rebound with 15 minutes
left and followed that up by mak-
ing it 600 career goals for
Barcelona by curling in a perfectly
struck free kick in the 82nd.
Liverpool dominated long
stretches of the match but failed to
finish its chances when it had the
hosts on their back foot, especial-
ly early in the second half.
Mohamed Salah still almost
grabbed a valuable away goal for
Liverpool late when he hit the
post.
Coached by Ernesto Valverde,
Barcelona is aiming to replicate
the treble of titles it achieved in
2009 under Pep Guardiola and
2015 under Luis Enrique. It
clinched the Spanish league title
last weekend and plays Valencia in
the Copa del Rey final on May 25.
Liverpool is trying to reach con-
secutive Champions League finals
after losing last season 3-1 to Real
Madrid.
Barcelona extended its unbeaten
streak at home in Europe’s elite
club competition to 32 straight
matches, a run that started in
2013.
The return leg at Anfield is next
Tuesday. In the other semifinal,
Ajax won 1-0 at Tottenham in the
first leg on Tuesday.
At Camp Nou, Liverpool created
an up-tempo, back-and-forth game
right from kickoff.
The speed of Salah and Sadio
Mane caused Barcelona problems
throughout and a flurry of jitters in
its backline. A soft challenge by
Jordi Alba left Salah with the ball
in the box, Gerard Pique erred on
more than one pass, and Sergi
Roberto simply could not keep up
with Mane.
But Messi was a force at the
other end, causing Liverpool to
bend and almost break on several
solo runs right through the heart
of its defense until it finally gave
way in the final minutes.
Shortly after stewards quickly
caught and removed a spectator
who had run onto the pitch,
Liverpool lost midfielder Naby
Keita to an apparent upper leg
injury. Jordan Henderson replaced
him in the 24th.
But just when a lull in the action
came, Barcelona found a way
through to break the deadlock.

All or nothing: Homers, strikeouts on pace for records
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Cincinnati manager David
Bell notices the difference from his playing
days.
“There’s just no question that swings are
geared for more home runs,” he said. “The
swings are different than they used to be. It’s
pretty obvious when you pull up a video of
20 years ago, 30 years ago.”
Baseball’s all-or-nothing trend accelerated
in the season’s first full month, as batters
binged on home runs and pitchers thrived on
strikeouts.
Players hit 1,144 home runs in 874 games
through April 30, according to the Elias
Sports Bureau, an average of 1.31 per game.
That is on track to break the record average
of 1.26 set two years ago.
“I think we’re starting to see more and
more, some of the miss-hits are going pretty
far, too,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash
said.
Even more significantly, the barrage took

CRAZY HOPS
The Red Sox already trailed 1-0 when
Rafael Devers singled leading off the second
inning and Chavis bounced one up the mid-
dle. Second baseman Chad Pinder, who was
preparing to field the ball and step on sec-
ond to start a double play, wound up ducking
to avoid getting hit in the head as Devers
went to third.
“It was just bad luck,” Pinder said. “Just

place during a time when cold weather in
much of the country usually causes many fly
balls to die on warning tracks. There were
912 homers in 838 games through April last
year, an average of 1.09 in a season that
ended at 1.15 — the second-highest ever.
This year’s weather was better to some
degree; there have been 15 postponements,
down from 28 through last April.
There was an average of one home run
every 25.6 at-bats in April for the second-
highest rate in any full month of games in
major league history, according to Elias. The
only higher average was one home run every
25.4 at-bats in June 2017.
“The ball’s been flying here more than I’ve
ever seen,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway
said after New York and Minnesota combined
for a Citi Field-record 10 long balls. “This
time of year, the balls don’t usually travel
bad, those things are going to happen.”
Moreland hit a deep sacrifice fly to score
Devers and make it 1-1. Christian Vazquez
walked and Jackie Bradley Jr. singled, but
Chavis was held up at third.
With Tzu-Wei Lin at the plate, Mike Fiers
(2-3) threw a fastball that went off the top of
Josh Phegley’s glove, and Chavis took off
for home. But the ball bounced off the back-
stop right back to the catcher, who shuffled
back to home plate to tag the sliding runner.
Lin struck out to end the inning.
“I mean, lucky for me, I guess,” Phegley
said. “We’ll take it.”
PITCHING IN
Marcus Walden (4-0) relieved Red Sox
he expects Pollock back this season. ... INF
David Freese was scratched for precaution-
ary measures after fouling a ball off his

Gi ant s : San Francisco purchased the
contract of C Stephen Vogt from Triple-A

the minors. Vogt is back in the majors less
than a year after having right shoulder sur-
gery. “I feel super emotional and proud to be
going back. A long year and a lot of hard
— Todd Frazier, Mets third baseman
like they are.”
Perhaps more alarming to baseball offi-
cials is the rise in strikeouts. Batters are
averaging 8.86 strikeouts per game, up from
8.48 last year — the 11th consecutive record
year for whiffs. Strikeouts are on pace to top
43,000, up from 41,207 last year and
30,644 in 2005.
“Pitching just continues to get better and
better, more wipeout stuff. Just nastier pitch-
ing,” Los Angeles Dodgers infielder David
Freese said.
“Younger age guys are starting to learn
even in their teens to get the ball in the air,
not necessarily to hit the ball up the middle,
other way type of stuff.”
Before 2017, strikeouts never exceeded
hits over a full calendar month. There were
more whiffs than hits in April, June and
September last year, and there were 187 more
starter Hector Velazquez after two innings
and pitched three scoreless innings, strik-
ing out three and allowing one hit. Fiers
gave up three runs and five hits in five
innings for Oakland, which has lost six in a
row starting a nine-game trip.
“You try not to look at it that way — that
things aren’t bouncing your way,” A’s man-
ager Bob Melvin said. “We haven’t been
unlucky to this point. We just haven’t
played well. We have to do something about
it.”
EXTRA BASES
The Red Sox swept a team for the first
time at home. They won the season series
against Oakland 4-3; the A’s had won it in
work,” he said.
PITCHER’S DUEL
Ryu allowed four hits and one run in eight
innings — his longest outing since 2013.
He faced the minimum 21 batters over his
final seven innings.
Bumgarner allowed one run and four hits
in six innings for his ninth straight quality
start against the Dodgers. But he has just
two wins in those games in large part

fewer runs of support in eight of the nine

This year already there were 949 strikeouts
and 848 hits in March and 6,799 strikeouts
and 6,371 hits in April, leaving strikeouts
529 ahead.
“Relief pitchers are throwing 95-plus
(mph). Starters are throwing 93 or higher
with movement,” Mets third baseman Todd
Frazier said. “Balls are going left and right,
and up and down, and sideways.”
And perhaps because batters are crowding
the plate, there have been 368 hit batters, an
average of 0.42 per game on track to be the
highest since 1900.
Frazier notes swings have changed as bat-
ters try to go deep.
“People got to understand, it’s not how it
used to be,” he said. “When I was younger,
they taught you to get on top of the ball,
backspin.”
With more strikeouts, requiring lengthier
plate appearances, the average time of nine-
inning games backtracked to 3 hours, 3 min-

April last season.

1900, the earliest records available. And
while thousands lost their homes after last
year’s deadly wildfire in the northern part of
the state, initial estimates show most peo-
ple shuffled to cities closest to the blaze.
California’s population has been creep-
ing toward 40 million people, viewed as a
milestone for a state that began as a frontier
outpost and now boasts the world’s fifth
largest economy. While the state will surely
reach that peak, officials on Wednesday
noted the latest estimates should temper
expectations for robust growth as births
decline, deaths rise and immigration slows.
“We see that as a process of maturity,”
said Ethan Sharygin, a demographer with
the California Department of Finance.
Despite the slowdown, California
remains by far the country’s most populous
lion people.
The Northern California city of Chico
added more than 19,000 people for a whop-
ping 20% increase to more than 112,000.
But that was prompted by tragedy, as the
nearby town of Paradise lost 83% of its
population after the most destructive wild-
fire in state history.
“In a single word, it’s been overwhelm-
ing,” said Mark Orme, Chico’s city manag-
er, of the overnight population growth.
The college town, home to California
State University-Chico, has been affected
broadly, including increases in toilet flush-
es and volume of trash. Orme also said traf-
fic collisions are up 24%. Traffic is up about
25% on average and is as high as 77% in
some places, he said.
Doriane Regalia, a real estate agent with
Century 21 in Chico, said all her clients
lost their homes in the fire. She said for
some, the idea of going back to the town is
too overwhelming. “There is a lot of PTSD

in people who lost everything,” Regalia
said.
The fire destroyed more than 14, 600
housing units. But Sharygin said most of
those people stayed in California. Only
about 400 left the state, according to initial
estimates.
“People were just reacting immediately to
the loss of a home and finding a short-term
solution,” he said. “I don’t think we can
make any claims right now about what hap-
pens in the first quarter of this year.”
State officials said Wednesday they
expected the state’s birth rate to decline, but
they were surprised by how much: More
than 18,000 fewer births than the previous
year. Tina Daley, chief of California’s
Demographic Research Unit, noted teen
pregnancy rates are declining and, in gener-
dren.
What has surprised them, Sharygin said,
is that fewer people are coming to
California from other countries, especially
neighboring Mexico, where birth rates are
higher. Now, he said, more people are com-
ing from places like China, where birth
rates are lower.
The new population estimates come as the
state is preparing for the 2020 national cen-
sus, an important head count used to distrib-
ute federal tax dollars and decide congres-
sional representation. State officials are
concerned many Hispanics won’t be counted
if the Trump administration succeeds in
placing a citizenship question on the census
form.
State officials expect California to con-
tinue to grow, predicting the state’s popula-
tion could top 50 million by 2055. By
2051, officials project the state will join
Japan and other European countries by hav-
ing more deaths than births.

GUILTY

fraud.
Bruce Isackson, who was at one time the president of a
Woodside real estate firm, also pleaded guilty to one count
of money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspir-
ing to defraud the U.S. Internal Revenue Service by claim-
ing tax deductions for the bribes.
According to the charges to which they pleaded guilty,
the Isacksons paid $250,000 in Facebook stock to have
their older daughter recruited as a soccer player by the
University of California, Los Angeles, in 2016.
They paid $350,000 in other stock to have their younger
daughter’s test scores corrected and to have her recruited as
a crew athlete by the University of Southern California in
2018.
The Isacksons said in a statement when their plea agree-
ment was announced last month, “No words can express
how profoundly sorry we are for what we have done.”
Twelve other parents, including actress Felicity Huffman,
have agreed to plead guilty at various dates this month.
Nineteen others, including actress Lori Loughlin, are facing
an indictment and have either pleaded not guilty or chal-
lenged the charges.
The Isacksons will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge
Patti Saris on July 31.
The sentences will be up to the judge, but prosecutors
agreed to recommend prison terms on the low end of sen-
tencing guidelines, which would be a little more than three
years for Bruce Isackson and slightly above two years for
Davina Isackson.
In addition, both Isacksons signed cooperation agree-
ments with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston last
month. The agreements say that if the defendants provide
“substantial assistance” in the investigation, prosecutors
may recommend prison terms below the sentencing guide-
lines.

goals for the “low income” level.
Community benefits include a
1,352-square foot “flex” space that
will be occupied rent-free by
Community School of Music and Arts,
a Mountain View-based nonprofit that
offers music classes to all ages. If that
nonprofit were to move on from the
space for whatever reason in the future,
the next occupant would still have to
be a community-serving nonprofit
exempt from paying rent, per the
development agreement. The space is
also designed such that events can
spill over into the lobby or plaza.
The 4,031-square foot plaza will be
open to the public and it includes a seat
wall, deck for gatherings and
$100,000 public art installation to be
paid for by the developer. Other
streetscape improvements include the
construction of wider sidewalks, cor-
ner bulb-outs and bike lanes.
Additional street trees will be planted,
a bike kitchen will be available to the
public and Windy Hill has also agreed
to pay $400,000 for an O’Neil Avenue

which Caltrain grows in the coming
decades. Assuming the railroad sees
what’s referred to as “baseline growth”
— changes that are already in the
works, including electrification —
then it would cost $8.5 billion to
improve the 42 at-grade crossings.
That money would cover the cost of 24
grade separations, 14 four-quadrant
gates, which are the barriers that keep
motorists in place when trains pass,
and three mitigated closures, which are
road closures with separated bike and
pedestrian access, according to the
report.
Grade separations typically cost
between $255 million and $355 mil-
lion a pop, mitigated closures are in
the range of $35 million while quad
gates and other safety improvements
cost about $1 million, according to
the report.
If the board members chooses the
high intensity funding option, then it
would cost $9 billion to improve at-
“baseline growth.”
But board members could decide that
Caltrain needs to grow much more than
the baseline scenario, which entails
10 trains per hour. In August, board
members will decide if Caltrain should
grow to 12 trains per hour or as many
as 16 trains per hour in the coming
decades and, if those scenarios are
selected, then the cost of improving
the 42 at-grade crossings could be as
high as $11.1 billion, according to the
report. 
On a typical weekday, 400, 000
motorists drive through Caltrain’s
grade crossings, equivalent to the
combined traffic volumes of the Bay
and San Mateo bridges, according to
the report. And between 2008 and
2018, more than 80 collisions have
occurred at Caltrain’s grade crossings,
30 of which involved a fatality.  sources, including contributions from
Today, 71 of 113 crossings along
the Caltrain corridor have been sepa-
rated and an additional grade crossing
in San Mateo is being constructed.
Expected to cost $180 million, that
project is aimed for completion by
2021.

Officials are especially interested in a
grade separation at Whipple Avenue
and have said in the past that such a
project would cost between $300 mil-
lion and $1 billion depending on its
scope.
In Burlingame, environmental and
design work is underway for a grade
separation on Broadway, but funding
has yet to be identified for the project
estimated to cost $250 million in
2017.
Of the 42 remaining at-grade cross-
ings, 30 are located in San Mateo
County, 10 are in Santa Clara County
and two are in San Francisco. There are
an additional 28 at-grade crossings on
the Union Pacific-owned corridor
south of Tamien. 
Grade separation projects are typi-
cally funded through a variety of
the city in which the crossing is locat-
ed. The San Mateo County
Transportation Authority, which over-
sees the county’s sales tax revenue ear-
marked for transportation improve-
ments, has a lockbox for grade separa-
tion projects and state and federal
grants are also often relied upon.

Demos face setbacks in recruiting top Senate candidates
By Elana Schor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats are
stinging from a trio of high-profile failures
to recruit candidates who could help reclaim
the majority, including Stacey Abrams’
announcement that she would pass up a U.S.
Senate run in Georgia.
That decision, announced Tuesday, was a
blow to Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer. After Abrams gained fame from her
ultimately unsuccessful effort to become
America’s first black female governor last
year, Schumer personally — and publicly —
urged her to consider challenging GOP Sen.
David Perdue. In a particularly notable
move, he tapped her earlier this year to
deliver the Democratic response to President
Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
Abrams follows former Texas Rep. Beto
O’Rourke and former Colorado Gov. John
Hickenlooper in spurning Senate
Democratic leaders’ entreaties to take on
incumbent Republicans seen as potentially
vulnerable. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is
likely to follow suit in rejecting a Senate run
as he weighs whether to join O’Rourke and
Hickenlooper on the 2020 presidential cam-
paign trail.
Also Tuesday, a spokeswoman for
Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne said the fresh-
man would seek re-election next year for her
southeast Iowa House seat. The Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senate
Democrats’ campaign organization, had
tried persuading Axne to run for U.S. Senate
against GOP incumbent Joni Ernst, who will
be seeking a second term.
The inability of Schumer and other
Democrats to corral well-known candidates
NATION
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks with reporters following the weekly policy
luncheon on Capitol Hill.
underscores that many of the party’s biggest
players are betting they’ll have better
futures outside Capitol Hill, where action
can be slow — especially in the minority.
It’s also a sign of how tough Democrats will
find their fight to regain control of the
Senate next year, a steep climb that sparked
glee from Republicans, who hold a 53-47
majority in the chamber.
“Today’s embarrassing recruitment failure
is another devastating blow to Chuck
Schumer’s dream of a Democratic Senate,”
said Jack Pandol, communications director
for the Senate Leadership Fund, a group
REUTERS
linked to Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell and dedicated to boosting
Republican candidates. “Now that top-tier
Democrats in nearly every competitive state
have all said no to Chuck Schumer, the pic-
ture is becoming clear: Democrats simply do
not believe in Schumer’s ability to lead
them into the majority.”
If a Democrat wins the White House next
year, he or she will need a Senate majority to
push through the ambitious agendas that
have been pitched to voters. But to claw
back power, Democrats will have to take at
least three seats from the GOP.
Thursday • May 2, 2019 27
Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Susan
Collins of Maine and Martha McSally of
Arizona are widely considered among the
most vulnerable Republican incumbents,
and Democrats scored a recruiting coup when
retired astronaut-turned-gun control advo-
cate Mark Kelly launched a campaign
against McSally.
But Gardner and Collins have both shown
they can effectively wield the advantage of
incumbency and are seeking to keep their
distance from Trump as the president’s
unpopularity becomes a political albatross
in their states. And even if Senate Democrats
defeat all three of their most obvious GOP
targets in 2020, they will still struggle to
help Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama hold onto
a seat that no one expected him to win in
that deep-red state two years ago.
That tricky math for Democrats would
have proved easier to navigate with well-
known candidates such as Abrams,
O’Rourke and Hickenlooper forcing
Republicans to play defense and spend
money in more states to protect their
incumbents. But top Democrats declared on
Tuesday that they would have no trouble
fielding successful candidates next year,
particularly amid Trump’s persistently low
approval ratings.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada,
who chairs Senate Democrats’ 2020 cam-
paign arm, lauded the “phenomenal” quality
of her party’s recruits and noted that “we
have plenty of time” to lock in candidates.
“Just because we don’t get somebody that
you’re aware of doesn’t mean we’re not
going to find or have somebody that can
beat those Republican incumbents in a state
on the kitchen-table issues that matter to
voters,” Cortez Masto told reporters.
